In some hydraulic systems, intensifiers or "boosters" replace pumps or compressors. They are most often used when one form of fluid energy is available, but a specific system must use another form.

The apparatus that achieves this conversion is the hydraulics. A hydraulics system is based on the simple principle of Pascal’s law, named for the 17th century French scientist Blaise Pascal.

The (unloaded) gear pump could pump about 0.32 L/minute, demonstrating its basic functionality. For the hydraulic cylinder, mostly non-3D printed parts were used, with a brass cylinder forming the ...

Further, most hydraulic pump manufacturers recommend oil contain no more than 0.1% (1,000-ppm) water.
